When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 478: The beginning of contradictions

Is a fully automatic production line good? Of course it is, but it has certain pre-technical requirements, a large initial investment, and requires daily maintenance.

The efficiency is indeed high, but the use is relatively single.

What about the ox-and-horse workers? Although they are far less efficient than the production line, they are easy to obtain, cheap, and can be used to produce something else with a little training.

If we only look at the initial stage, Qiu Qinghong's approach is quite reasonable.

First, we work hard to dig fuel and store supplies to ensure that when the severe cold comes, everyone has food to eat and can keep warm, and then everyone works together like beasts of burden.

After the technology tree has advanced to a certain level, more advanced automated production machinery will gradually replace silicon-based labor.

"Okay, let's start working hard towards this goal!"

After determining the general direction, Shen Guang can then proceed with his actions.

He took pictures of several mining machines in a row, each mining different resources, and then pulled out several conveyor belts to transport the minerals to smelting furnaces or warehouses.

Then place a batch of primary manufacturing machines to build various useful parts and buildings.

"Huh? Why are these two lines still fighting?

"Let's fly a line."

Shen Guang simply built a bridge so that when one conveyor belt passed through another conveyor belt, it would pass over it.

Qiu Qinghong was looking at the construction plan unfolding on his screen, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

Simply blind.

This is too uncouth!

What we are saying is, can’t this production line be planned a little more beautifully?

The placement of this kind of game production line is very particular. It is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also affects efficiency.

There is an upper limit to the speed at which conveyor belts can transport materials, so the farther the conveyor belt is pulled, the slower the transportation speed.

Moreover, different production lines require several different raw materials, some more and some less. If the speed of the conveyor belt is not well planned, jamming problems will easily occur, with materials piling up on one side while materials on the other side are delayed in being delivered.

What's more, the clearer the production line is, the easier it will be to check later.

If it's a mess with many building units mixed together, it would be exhausting just to straighten out the source of the production line.

These are all bloody lessons.

But Shen Guang obviously had no plan at all. He just placed them here and there, and then pulled a flying line when needed. There was no aesthetic appeal at all.

Qiu Qinghong's head hurt from watching this.

It's like being in front of an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, randomly drawing a few irregular curves in the originally neat and uniform lines.

What a torture.

Qiu Qinghong actually wanted to say, if I had known this would happen, wouldn’t it have been better to let me be the consul?

I will definitely make sure you stand straight.

But Mr. Shen took the initiative to ask to play the role of consul, so there is nothing to say.

Qiu Qinghong held it in for a long time, then said, "Boss Shen's production line is arranged...

“It’s quite artistic!

“This is imaginative and creative, yet also practical and resource-saving.

"With President Shen here, this construction goal can definitely be achieved easily."

Shen Guang was skeptical: "Really? I just put it randomly. Maybe good designs are all done with the best of ideas."

Qiu Qinghong nodded: "Yes, Mr. Shen and I are in sync."

Construction activities continue.

Qiu Qinghong found that as the head of state, he could actually intervene a little in the construction.

To put it simply, it is remote control.

Although you can't use it directly, you can use voice or typing.

This game has a chat system, you can connect to the microphone, or you can chat directly by typing. Of course, you can also choose to block the other party's speech.

In addition, the leader player can also put various marks on the map for prompts, which cannot be blocked.

So Qiu Qinghong tried to provide guidance.

After all, he really couldn't stand this kind of unplanned construction.

"Boss Shen, you see, this area has a lot of mineral resources, whether it's energy mines for burning or mines for feeding silicon-based people.

“We can plan this place as a major residential area.

“On the one hand, it can ensure heating to the maximum extent, and on the other hand, it can also store enough food.

“As for the iron ore and factory areas, they can be built further away.

"This way, even if an extreme disaster strikes, we can pull our people into shelters and maintain warmth and food.

“As for this area, I think it can be reserved for industrial upgrading.

"Oh, yes, Mr. Shen, these two areas should be further apart. We need to leave space for the expansion of the industrial zone in advance."

Qiu Qinghong gave the reminder carefully, but unexpectedly it still aroused Shen Guang's disgust.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Qiu, I have my own plans, you should just focus on your work."

Qiu Qinghong was helpless: "Okay, Mr. Shen."

But in fact, this is how the game is designed. The workload of the head of state and the consul is very different. The consul is really busy all the time, and there is something to do every second.

Whether it is pulling a production line or dealing with some emergency situations, operations are required.

But it is different for the head of state. After the initial calculations and determination of development goals, there is little he can do.

Except for a few operations that must be performed by the head of state, he has nothing to do the rest of the time and can only watch the consul busy.

But the head of state cannot personally start building another production line, and has nothing to do, so can he only give orders madly?

That's because Shen Guang is his superior in real life, so Qiu Qinghong had to shut up.

If there were two players of equal status, the leader player would probably not be able to hold back.

I will definitely keep marking the map and typing out guidance suggestions.

Moreover, the Fuhrer player is very confident. I am the Fuhrer, why can't I command you?

Not to mention those head players who were already better at playing this kind of game. Seeing the Archon setting up a terrible production line, it was difficult for them to control themselves from speaking.

But the consul would certainly not accept it: If you can do it, then go ahead!
In the beginning you have to choose the head of state yourself.

You just talk and I have to do all the dirty work. Why?
Before we knew it, conflicts arose.

Qiu Qinghong had already vaguely realized that if two players were allowed to play this game, a quarrel far more intense than what was happening now would probably break out.

But...what can we do? This seems to be part of the core gameplay of "Star Project".

He was vaguely worried about the game, but seeing that Shen Guangzheng was enjoying it, he didn't feel comfortable reminding him.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Although the targets set for the first time were not achieved, the problem was not too serious.

After all, there was no reference data when setting this indicator, so Qiu Qinghong just set one at random.

Although it did not meet the standards, it seems that the silicon-based life on this comet has developed quite well.

Therefore, as a leader, Qiu Qinghong naturally did not choose to "judge the consul", but forgave the consul and continued to build.

Suddenly, an employee in the conference room seemed to realize something and said, "Hey, Mr. Shen, Mr. Qiu, why do I feel like something is wrong?
"Is the pointer in the upper right corner rising?"

Qiu Qinghong and Shen Guang were stunned for a moment and each looked at the indicator in the upper right corner.

As technology continues to be unlocked, the information column in the upper right corner is becoming more and more complex.

However, most of the information is not very important. In addition to the output, reserves, power generation and time of various resources, there are also data such as environmental temperature and humidity.

A lot of data is useless because there is no visible change at all.

Take the temperature for example. After the most basic technology is unlocked, this thing can be checked, but it has always been around minus 50 degrees Celsius.

There were slight fluctuations at the beginning, and then it entered a period of stability.

Qiu Qinghong looked at the temperature data and found that there didn't seem to be any particularly obvious changes compared to the initial temperature.

“You didn’t see a significant increase, did you?

“And this temperature is the ambient temperature. When the factories we build burn energy, the surrounding ambient temperature will also rise.

"After all, in order to fight the severe cold, we have also prepared special heating equipment."

However, when he glanced at Wei Chengjie, who was smiling without saying anything, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Could it be that……

"Oh! Yes!
“This temperature rise is actually very abnormal!
"Oh no, Mr. Shen, we made a mistake!"

Shen Guang didn't quite understand at this time: "What went wrong?"

Qiu Qinghong explained: "We are not moving away from the star now, but getting closer to the star!"

Originally, Qiu Qinghong didn’t think too much about it. When he saw the temperature fluctuations, he thought it was caused by the temperature of industrial production.

But at this moment I suddenly realized: without building large-scale heating equipment, how could the energy in the factory area alone maintain such a high temperature?
This itself is unreasonable!
This shows that the comet is not moving away from the star, but approaching the star!
Shen Guang still didn't quite understand: "But if we are getting closer to a star, shouldn't the temperature rise very quickly?"

Qiu Qinghong shook his head: "Of course not, Mr. Shen!
"Although the temperature increases as we get closer to the star, we should not forget two points: first, we are now inside the nucleus of a comet, not on the outer surface of a comet, where the temperature is relatively stable; second, there is a large amount of ice, dry ice, dust, methane and other things on the surface of a comet, with ice and dry ice being the most abundant.

“That’s why comets have tails.

"When moving towards the star, these ices will sublimate and become a long comet tail, but because of their sublimation, they will also take away some of the heat.

"So, the fact that the temperature hasn't changed much actually means that we are getting closer to the star..."

Shen Guang was speechless on the spot: "Doesn't that mean that we have completely chosen the wrong technology tree? Next, we should prepare for high fever instead of severe cold?"

Qiu Qinghong nodded awkwardly: "Yes... I will change the plan right away."

The situation suddenly became awkward.

The original technology was prepared for severe cold weather, but now it is all useless.

Although there are some technologies that can cope with both severe cold and extreme heat, such technologies consume a lot of resources and cannot be developed in the short term.

Therefore, if we want to change direction at this time, time becomes urgent and there are obvious gaps in various resources.

Shen Guang sighed: "Boss Qiu, you are the head of state, you can't make mistakes on this kind of issue!

"We are heading in the wrong direction. Isn't all our previous work in vain?
"You said you didn't have much to do, so why do you need others to remind you of such things?

"If others hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid by the time the temperature here rises significantly, it would be too late! Although it may be too late now."

Qiu Qinghong nodded awkwardly: "Yes, Mr. Shen, my question..."
